Imbros is a large island in the Aegean Sea, north of Tenedos and directly west of the entrance to the Hellespont. It was under Byzantine control until the fall of Constantinople in 1453, when it was less conquered by than just assimilated into the Ottoman Empire.
This toponym does not appear in the poem, only on the maps accompanying it.
